While caring for my Prayer Plant I noticed some of its leaves were a healthy looking, large and bold green, but others were weak looking, curled up or shriveled up brown. This got me to thinking upon my prayers which are sometimes large and bold, other times weak or filled with doubt, and even at times non-existent. Thus, this poem was inspired and created as I was reflecting.
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrews 4:12

(My first attempt at writing a Terza rima poem!)
I’m moving forward
Each day that I am alive
One step at a time

Melodious strings
Come alive with heavenly tones
The sound of a harp
Senryu–Object Poem

Autumn arrived yesterday all aglow
Dressed in red, orange, brown and yellow
A pallet of color she held in her hand
and she used it to change the scape of my land.
A bounty of fruit she left in her wake
the abundance of which I could freely take
Color so vibrant brought my senses alive
Autumn! I am so glad you chose to arrive!
